The fifth season of the American drama television series 24, also known as Day 5, premiered on January 15, 2006, on Fox and aired its season finale on May 22, 2006. The season five storyline starts and ends at 7:00 a.m. – the same time frame as the previous season.

The fifth season is set 18 months after season four. Former Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer begins the season, working as a day-to-day laborer at an oil refinery under the alias "Frank Flynn" in Mojave, California. On a monumental day in Charles Logan's presidency, an anti-terrorism treaty with Russian President Yuri Suvarov is about to be signed when events take a tragic turn.

Season 5 is one of the 24 seasons that can be divided into three main acts:

In the first act, two murders force Jack to reveal himself. He attempts to save innocent people from a plot involving Russian separatists that is rapidly unfolding.

In the second act, the terrorists gain control of nerve gas canisters with help from corrupt officials.

In the final act, Jack discovers how deep the conspiracy goes and fights against numerous threats to get hold of a recording that implicates President Logan.

Former U.S. President David Palmer is assassinated in Los Angeles, California and Jack Bauer is framed for his murder. The assassins also plan to frame Jack for the murders of Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler and Chloe O'Brian, all of whom helped Jack fake his death. Michelle is killed when her car explodes and Tony is critically injured in a secondary explosion but Jack manages to save Chloe. After investigating David Palmer's death, Jack goes looking for further information at LA/Ontario International Airport, which is subsequently attacked by terrorists.

The terrorists are Russian separatists in contact with an official named James Nathanson. They take 40 people hostage in attempt to dissuade President Logan from signing a landmark anti-terrorism treaty with Russian President Yuri Suvarov. Terrorists, led by Vladimir Bierko, use the plot as a diversion to steal 20 canisters of VX nerve gas. While searching for the nerve gas, Jack discovers the involvement of James Nathanson and White House Chief of Staff Walt Cummings. They plan to release nerve gas on Russian soil and use that as an excuse for invoking the military clauses of the treaty, allowing Logan to secure American petroleum interests in Central Asia. David Palmer was killed because he was beginning to find out about their plan.

The nerve gas is deployed at Sunrise Hills Shopping Mall (resulting in 10-20 fatalities out of eight-nine hundred shoppers) and Tyler Memorial Hospital (unsuccessfully due to the actions of CTU and Curtis Manning). Jack questions a former co-worker of his, Christopher Henderson, who he believes is willing to help. Instead Henderson locks Jack in a room with a bomb nearly killing him. Jack has Henderson brought to CTU and tortured where he refuses to reveal additional knowledge about the conspiracy. When terrorists break into CTU and release nerve gas there, Christopher Henderson, Tony Almeida, Jack Bauer, Kim Bauer, Chloe O'Brian, Audrey Raines and others are spared in sealed safe-rooms. About 40% of the personnel - including Edgar Stiles and Lynn McGill - are killed. When CTU is decontaminated, Jack rushes to the medical room and sees that Henderson apparently killed Tony and escaped.

The fallout from this attack convinces the Vice President to absorb CTU into Homeland Security (DHS). CTU and Homeland Security agents race to find the location of the remaining nerve gas canisters. This turns out to be Wilshire Gas Co. By incinerating the pipelines, Jack stops the nerve gas from being released and captures Vladimir Bierko. Through the assistance of Wayne Palmer (David Palmer's brother) and Evelyn Martin (Special Assistant to the First Lady), Jack discovers that President Logan is responsible for the attacks. He is at the center of a conspiracy involving Cummings, Henderson, Nathanson, a mysterious man known as Graem and a group of men who monitor and influence the actions of Logan from an undisclosed location.

Jack and Wayne retrieve a recording that implicates Logan from a bank vault and attempt to turn it over to U.S. Secretary of Defense James Heller. However, Heller's plan to get Logan to quietly resign backfires when Christopher Henderson uses Audrey as leverage to get the recording from Jack. Jack and Audrey recapture Henderson but they find that he has passed the recording on to a co-conspirator aboard a diplomatic flight. Jack boards the plane and reclaims the recording by taking the co-pilot hostage. This triggers a response from Charles Logan who tries to have the plane shot down, citing that it could be used to attack civilian targets on the ground. This causes others in Logan's inner circle to become suspicious of his motives. Jack Bauer lands the plane and delivers the recording to CTU. Logan decides to commit suicide to avoid the spectacle of a public trial, but before he can do so, a Homeland Security employee intervenes and destroys the recording, and is rewarded with a promotion by Logan.

Meanwhile, Bierko escapes CTU custody, and uses his last nerve gas container to take over a Russian submarine and gain control of twelve multiple-warhead non-nuclear missiles, each one capable of wiping out approximately seven city blocks. After cutting a deal with Christopher Henderson, Jack and Henderson together stop the attack from the submarine, and kill Bierko and his men. During a final standoff, Jack kills Henderson, who tried to shoot Jack with an unloaded pistol.

With the help of the First Lady, Mike Novick, Aaron Pierce, and Chloe, Jack is able to hijack Marine One and attempts to force Logan to confess. Though this venture proves unsuccessful, Jack manages to place a listening device on Logan which informs the U.S. Attorney General of his deception. At a memorial service for David Palmer, Logan delivers a eulogy while Secret Service agents are informed of his actions, and soon is taken away by U.S. Marshals.

However, Jack Bauer is kidnapped by Chinese agents, who had somehow discovered he was still alive. The season ends with a bound and beaten Jack on a cargo ship headed for China.

18 months after the events of Day 4, PresidentCharles Logan is preparing to sign a treaty with Yuri Suvarov, the Russian President. Bauer is revealed to be living with another identity while dating a widow named Diane Huxley, whose son, Derek, suspects Bauer. While visiting Wayne Palmer in Los Angeles, David is assassinated by a man. Michelle Dessler is killed in an explosion and Tony Almeida is struck by another one, taken to CTU for medical care. CTU acquires evidence that accuses Bauer of David's assassination, also revealing that Bauer is alive. Agent Chloe O'Brian, revealed to be dating her assistant, Spenser Wolff, hears about the incidents and narrowly escapes the assassin and his men. She calls and updates Bauer, who leaves to save her. He notices Derek following him and abducts him. They save O'Brian and Bauer kills the assassin and his men. Meanwhile, Charles' wife, Martha, revealed to have mental disorders, tells him that David wanted to talk to her about a national security issue involving Charles before his assassination; but he pretends not to believe her.

Bauer deduces that they can find out more in David's computer, which is in Wayne's apartment. The trio infiltrates the perimeter set by the FBI; and Bauer poses as an agent and enters the apartment using O'Brian's help. He intercepts Wayne and convinces the latter of the former's innocence. Bauer and O'Brian find the name of a Russian person who works in an airport. Bauer and Derek escape the perimeter using the help of O'Brian, who is arrested and delivered to CTU, where she updates Director Buchanan. Bauer delivers Derek to Diane, enters the airport and finds the target, who kills himself. Derek sees armed men entering the airport and goes in to warn Bauer. But the armed men start a lockdown and take everyone hostage. Meanwhile, CTU believes that there will be an attack on Suvarov at the time of his arrival at Charles' retreat; but Suvarov and his wife arrive safely. Charles plays an audio of David talking to Martha stating that he wants to talk about something unimportant; but she believes the audio is fake.

Bauer hides in a scouting position and contacts Buchanan. The boss man, identified as Anton Beresch, broadcasts a live video demanding Charles not to sign the treaty with threatening to kill the hostages. Charles states that he will not surrender to the demand and orders CTU to save the hostages. Beresch kills one of the hostages as a warning, aired live. He brings Derek next. Bauer demands agent Manning to start the rescue fast; but the latter states that they are not ready yet. As Beresch attempts to kill Derek, O'Brian manages to detonate an explosive vest worn by one of the armed men, diverting the attention from Derek. Walt Cummings secretly informs Beresch about Bauer. Beresch holds Derek and gunpoint and forces Bauer to surrender. Meanwhile, Martha decides to find the original recording and convinces her personal assistant, Evelyn Martin, to cover for her so that she can escape her room. When she does, she forces a technical staff member to let her enter the archive room, where she finds the recording printout and takes it.

Beresch kills another hostage. He forces Bauer to tell CTU to attack from an entry that is already guarded by the former's men. Agent Lynn McGill arrives from District Command for supervision. Charles announces in his press conference with Suvarov that he will not surrender to the demand. Bauer notices Beresch giving an item to one of the hostages. As Manning and his men prepare to breach the exposed point, McGill informs Buchanan of a hidden message in Bauer's report that implies he is under duress. As Charles and Suvarov sign the treaty, Manning's team storms in from a surprise point and a shootout starts. Beresch kills himself. McGill orders Bauer to be arrested anyway, although the evidence against him was proved to be fake. Bauer tells Manning about the hostage associated with the kidnappers, now disappeared. The man meets his associates and recovers chemical weapon canisters from an underground chamber. Cummings knocks Martha unconscious and recovers the paper from her.

Bauer, Diane and Derek are brought to CTU, where the former reunites with Audrey Raines, who is a DOD liaison there. Manning and his team track the man and find the empty compound, where traces of Sentox nerve gas are found. Cummings orders his operative to kill Bauer. The operative manages to enter CTU by Wolff's help. O'Brian finds out about Wolff's bypassing and Buchanan arrests him, who refuses to talk. Cummings' operative lures Bauer to the medical subunit and attacks him; but Bauer manages to kill him. He informs Wolff and the latter reveals Cummings' involvement. Since CTU can not arrest him without hard evidence, Bauer suggests to confront him alone. Meanwhile, Martha tells Charles what happened to her; but he does not believe her. Cummings convinces him to send her to a psychiatric institution. She escapes her room and Secret Service is ordered by Charles to find her. Raines is tasked by McGill to debrief Diane.

Bauer convinces McGill to let him capture Cummings and interrogate him personally, leaving CTU uninvolved. The former contacts Mike Novick and arranges a secret meeting at the Presidential retreat. Martha is found by Secret Service and returned, arranged for transfer. Bauer confirms his love to Raines. Cummings reveals his involvement to a seemingly ignorant Charles, stating that he and his American associates have aided a group of Russian separatists to acquire the gas and carry it to the Russian region, where the disclosure of the existence of the gas will allow the U.S. Armed Forces to enter the region according to the treaty Charles has signed with Suvarov. Cummings convinces Charles to arrest Bauer instead of the former. Bauer persuades agent Aaron Pierce to free him; and they capture Cummings and Bauer starts torturing him, who reveals a location. Charles has Cummings arrested. CTU fails to find the canisters; and Cummings receives a call from the operative, who promises upcoming attacks on the U.S. soil with the gas. Charles tells Martha that she was right and thus keeps her at the retreat.

Ivan Erwich, the operative Bauer recognized at the airport, contacts a man named Jacob Rossler, who instructs him how to prepare the canisters. One of Erwich's men challenges his decision to attack the U.S. instead of Russia; but Erwich insists on it. Charles gives Bauer provisional authority at CTU, which intercepts the call between Erwich and Rossler. Bauer, Manning and other agents move to Rossler's residence. They storm in and capture him before finding a scared teenage girl at the bedroom. Rossler agrees to help acquire the canisters in exchange for immunity and a safe way abroad with the girl. Bauer starts torturing him instead; but Lynn orders him to accept the deal. Erwich kills a technician after the latter successfully prepares the canisters. The girl fatally shoots Rossler, making the mission improbable to succeed. Meanwhile, Lynn's sister, Jenny, convinces him to meet her outside the building, where he is attacked by her boyfriend, who robs Lynn's wallet. Cummings is found dead as a result of apparent suicide.

Bauer answers Rossler's phone. The meeting is arranged and Bauer heads there while wearing an earpiece. Erwich's operatives take the arranged item from him and force him to accompany them to their destination in order to confirm it. Bauer sees a canister in the van and informs CTU. They arrive at a shopping mall, being followed by CTU. Bauer and Erwich's operatives enter a room with access to the ventilation system and prepare to release the gas. They demand a code from Bauer necessary to activate the canister. A debate starts at CTU on whether or not to let the operatives kill the people at the mall in order to maintain Bauer's cover and recover the other canisters. They ask Charles, who approves the sacrifice. Bauer disobeys the order and gives the wrong code, leading to being locked. Erwich instructs his operatives to activate the canister by another way. Bauer frees himself and kills one of the operatives while the other escapes. Some of the gas is released before Bauer disables the system. He orders an evacuation before joining agents to chase the operative, who is informed by Erwich and ordered to kill himself, which he does.

Manning arrests Bauer on Lynn's order. Bauer gets a call from James Nathanson, an associate of Cummings', offering to help if the former comes alone. He escapes from Manning and heads to the location. Erwich is killed by his boss, Vladimir Bierko, for wasting a canister on Americans. Bauer arrives at the location, where Bierko's men also arrive to kill Nathanson. A shootout starts and Nathanson dies after giving a chip to Bauer, who escapes. O'Brian finds the name of Christopher Henderson, a person Bauer knows, from the chip. Meanwhile, Lynn has Buchanan detained for facilitating Raines' communication with Bauer. The former calls Jenny and requests his keycard in the wallet. She agrees; but her boyfriend stops her. Bierko calls Charles and demands the path of the Suvarovs' motorcade, threatening to release the rest of the gas on American soil. Charles accepts it although Martha disagrees. She enters the Suvarovs' limousine, hoping to force Charles to cancel the scheme.

Bauer heads to Henderson's workplace. The former distracts the latter's secretary and enters the office, where he is knocked unconscious by Henderson. Lynn ignores O'Brian's intel of an attack on the Suvarovs. Raines and Manning manage to depose Lynn and detain him while returning Buchanan in charge. He alerts Secret Service about the motorcade. It is revealed that Henderson was Bauer's superior in CTU previously before the former was framed of leaking classified information. Bauer led the investigation and had Henderson fired. The latter never accepted the accusation as he denies the current one. The duo heads to an underground room to search a computer for leads. Henderson leaves while locking the door and setting a bomb to detonate. Bauer manages to survive the explosion. Bierko's men attack the motorcade; but Pierce and other agents manage to protect the Suvarovs and Martha. Bierko calls Charles, accusing him of betraying the deal and promising upcoming attacks as retribution.

Bauer heads to Henderson's house, where he captures him and his wife. The former tries to force Henderson to talk by torturing her; but to no avail. Bauer arrests Henderson and orders truth serum to be prepared for him. Meanwhile, CTU finds a hospital to be a target. Manning leads a team there. They start checking the camera footage and identify Bierko's operative, who is killed. Manning manages to find and secure the canister without any casualties. Jenny's boyfriend reveals that there is a man who will pay a large amount of money for Lynn's keycard. The man is revealed to be one of Bierko's operatives. He arrives, kills the pair and recovers the keycard, revealed to be planning to infiltrate CTU. Martha gets angry with Charles for not caring for her life. She thanks Pierce for saving her life while the two get intimate. Almeida regains consciousness; but Buchanan does not reveal Dessler's death to him on the physician's advice. However, Almeida secretly accesses the archive and finds the truth.

Raines tells Jack that Kim will arrive at CTU soon; but she is not informed that he is alive yet. The former convinces him to let her reveal it to Kim before the two reunite. An agent starts using the truth serum on Henderson. Buchanan informs Lynn of Jenny's death. Lynn finally reveals that his keycard is stolen. However, Bierko's operative has already infiltrated CTU and starts setting the canister at the ventilation system. Kim arrives with her boyfriend. It is revealed that Chase Edmunds left her after she became depressed following news of Jack's death. Raines tells her about Jack, who arrives and reunites with Kim; but she gets angry with him for hiding the truth. She later confronts O'Brian, who remarks the fates of the few people who knew Jack was alive. CTU finds out about the infiltration; and Jack manages to kill the operative. CTU initiates a lockdown. While some manage to enter the rooms and be protected from the released gas, others, including agent Stiles, are exposed and die. Meanwhile, Vice President Hal Gardner convinces Charles to initiate a martial law to stop Bierko's men from easily moving and operating.

CTU starts working to pump the gas out of the building air. O'Brian is still depressed because of Stiles. Kim's boyfriend reveals that he is a psychologist and starts working on O'Brian to get her to cooperate. In another room, Henderson's interrogation continues until Almeida interrupts, intending to kill him for Dessler's death. Jack dissuades him, since Henderson is the only lead to find the canisters. Jack uses the walls to get to a room where it leads to the main computer controlling the ventilation. Lynn is informed in another room that he should activate the computer from his side in order for the plan to work; but he will be exposed to the gas without the chance to be saved. He activates it before dying. CTU manages to pump out the gas. Jack encourages Kim to leave the city. Almeida finds interrogation useless and makes another attempt on Henderson, who injects the former with a dangerous substance, apparently killing him, before escaping. Meanwhile, DHS agent Karen Hayes is tasked to go to CTU with replacing personnel and assuming command. A woman named Collette Stenger is revealed to be associated with Bierko.

Almeida's body is moved away. Stenger meets Bierko and sells him the schematics of a specific building. CTU finds Stenger's identity in Henderson's PC and Bauer leads a team to capture her. They arrive at her hotel room, where they only find her boyfriend, Theo Stoller, who reveals that he is a Germanintelligence operative and Stenger is his mission. He states that she is too valuable to be handed to the Americans. Bauer secretly makes a deal with him to hand over an important NSA list. Stoller accepts after seeing the list, which is recovered by O'Brian secretly hacking the NSA server. Stoller takes CTU to an airport, where Stenger is arrested. Bauer hands over the chip containing the list to Stoller, who leaves; but the chip self-destructs later, which was Bauer's scheme. In exchange for immunity, Stenger states that her associate inside CTU is Raines. Meanwhile, Wayne calls Pierce and informs him that a government authority was behind David's assassination. They arrange a meeting at the retreat; but Wayne is attacked on the road and has a crash.

Hayes prepares the truth serum for Raines. Bauer arrives and is informed that Raines previously had a one-night stand with Cummings, which supports the claim that she is involved in the plot. Bauer convinces Hayes to let him talk to Raines first. She denies the accusal and claims to be innocent. Bauer believes her and tries to free her by himself, being tazed and move away. An agent starts using the truth serum. Using O'Brian's help, Bauer proves that Stenger has other connections with Henderson, which she has not revealed. This annulls the deal, giving Bauer the chance to interrogate Stenger, who is forced to confess Raines' innocence. Stenger reveals that she sold the schematics of a gas distribution company. CTU locates the company and Bauer leads a team. Bierko's plan is revealed to be releasing a large number of the canisters in the gas pipes, which would kill hundreds of thousands of people. CTU stops the plan; but an explosion leaves Bauer and Bierko's fate unclear. Meanwhile, Wayne is rescued and transported by Pierce.

Bauer and Bierko are revealed to be alive; and the latter is arrested. Hayes is ordered to absorb CTU as planned in the first place. Her assistant, Miles Papazian, advises her to find someone to testify against Buchanan so that he can be fired. They try to convince Raines, who initially refuses. Wayne reveals to Pierce that David's source in the government was Evelyn, who tells the duo that her daughter, Amy, is taken hostage by Henderson. Wayne enlists the help of Bauer, who informs Raines. She agrees to sign the testimony with the condition of O'Brian being kept temporarily. Buchanan is fired as a result. Raines secretly informs O'Brian of the situation and tasks her to provide satellite support for Bauer, who joins Wayne near the location where Evelyn is tasked by Henderson to bring her evidence. Bauer and Wayne infiltrate the compound and kill most of Henderson's operatives. They save Amy; but Henderson escapes, wounding Evelyn. She is asked of the political figure involved, who is revealed to be Charles.

Bauer informs his secret teammates, including Pierce, about Charles. The former and Wayne take Evelyn and Amy to their house before heading to recover a recording that proves Charles' involvement. The duo breaks in a house and take a man hostage. The man is revealed to be working at the bank keeping the deposit box containing the tape. On Bauer's advice, Raines calls Secretary Heller and arranges a meeting. The trio arrives at the bank and recovers the tape. When they head out, they are attacked by Henderson and his men, who found the location by interrogating Evelyn. The Army arrives and intervenes in the shootout, giving Bauer and Wayne the chance to escape. Meanwhile, Raines leaves CTU, being planted a tracker by Hayes, as she knows the former is working secretly with Bauer, while Hayes and the others are not aware of Charles' involvement. Raines removes the tracker and arrives at the airport Heller will land. Papazian and Hayes realize that O'Brian is aiding Bauer.

Bauer arrives with Wayne at Buchanan's house and informs him of the situation. The latter takes Wayne to safety while Bauer heads to the airport with the tape. He plays it to Heller and gives it to him, asking him to contact the Attorney General for Charles' arrest. Instead, Heller locks down Bauer and Raines, revealing that he intends to blackmail Charles with the recording to make him resign without prosecution, as the former believes the disclosure of Charles' involvement will become a political scandal for the nation. Heller arrives at the retreat and offers his deal to Charles. Henderson and his men attack the airport. Bauer recovers the recording, but surrenders it to Henderson when the latter takes Raines hostage. Henderson critically wounds her and escapes before informing Charles, who expels Heller from the retreat, demanding his resignation. Meanwhile, Charles tasks the Army instead of CTU to find Bauer. O'Brian escapes CTU and continues aiding Bauer in Buchanan's. Pierce arranges a secret meeting with Martha to tell her the truth before he is abducted.

Henderson decides to keep the tape instead of destroying it. O'Brian traces his whereabouts, and Bauer captures him, but does not find the tape on him. He reveals that there is a helicopter following Heller's car and will destroy it if Henderson is not released. They inform Heller, who decides to sacrifice himself in order not to have Henderson released. Heller drives his car into a river in order to avoid the helicopter. O'Brian finds an airstrip on Henderson's route and deduces that he must have entrusted the tape to someone in there. Bauer leaves for the airstrip while Raines guards Henderson until Manning and his team can arrive. Bauer infiltrates the plane that is about to take off. Meanwhile, Henderson's operatives arrive to free him before being neutralized by Manning's team, who arrest Henderson. Hayes begins to believe in the accusation of Charles and warns O'Brian to leave Buchanan's before DHS agents can arrive. Martha is locked in her room by a Secret Service agent. When she asks for the reason, Charles reveals the truth to her, who gets shocked to hear it.

Bauer finds the Air Marshal using O'Brian and knocks him unconscious. Then she identifies the potential associate; and Bauer abducts him and takes him to the maintenance room below, where he starts interrogating him, who denies any knowledge. An attendant awakens the Marshal, who orders the pilot to pump out the air of the room below in order to force Bauer to surrender. Bauer accesses the control panel of the plane and diverts its course to crash, forcing the pilot to reverse the pump and open the hatch of the room. Bauer secures the Marshal and O'Brian finds the actual associate to be the co-pilot, who kills the pilot before Bauer arrives and secures him, recovering the tape and informing CTU. Charles' unknown co-conspirator advises him to shoot down the plane in order to avoid the disclosure and his prosecution. Meanwhile, DHS agents arrest Buchanan; and Hayes orders them to bring him to CTU instead of interrogation on site, making the investigation slow in order to aid O'Brian, who continues her work at a bar. Papazian begins to suspect Hayes.

Raines is informed that Heller has survived the crash. Charles' associate reveals that a technical distress signal is sent to the Air Force that can justify the shootdown. Charles is soon notified of the signal, which indicates that Bauer might be targeting populated civilized regions or even the retreat. Thus, the Air Force requests for authorization to shoot down the plane, which he grants. Bauer orders the co-pilot to land the plane on the highway. The Air Force informs Charles that the threat is gone now that Bauer is trying to land. Charles is forced to abort the shootdown, but orders the Army to arrest Bauer. Manning and his team arrive and secretly extract Bauer from the perimeter without the Army noticing. Bauer arrives at CTU with the tape. Hayes and Buchanan prepare a conference with the Attorney General. She informs Papazian, who gets angry for not being told earlier. Charles' associate advises him to kill himself before he can be arrested. As Charles prepares, he gets a call from Papazian, who makes a deal to destroy the tape in exchange for a better job.

During transfer, Bierko is rescued by his operatives. It is revealed that Bierko has saved one of the canisters, which he believes to be enough for his plan. O'Brian finds the tape empty; and Bauer and Hayes confront Papazian, who gets transferred to another organization on Charles' order. CTU is notified of Bierko. Bauer offers Henderson immunity in exchange for helping in stopping Bierko. Henderson demands disappearing like Bauer did, since the people the former worked for are too dangerous to be stopped by immunity. Bauer apparently agrees; and Henderson takes the team to a location where an associate resides. Henderson enters alone and alerts the associate, who is killed by CTU. Henderson claims that was part of his plan; but Bauer ruined it because of his suspicions. CTU finds the target to be a Russian submarine, which is in Los Angeles as a result of the treaty. Bierko's men releases the canister at the submarine, killing almost everyone on board. They enter the submarine and prepare to fire missiles on the city. Meanwhile, Martha saves Pierce from an agent ordered by Charles to kill him. Pierce advises her to enlist the help of Novick.

CTU team and Henderson arrive at the submarine. They enlist the help of an engineer inside to open the hatch and enter. A shootout starts and all of Bierko's men are killed while Henderson manages to stop the launch. Bauer kills Bierko while Henderaon tries to escape before being stopped by Bauer, who considers him responsible for the deaths of his friends before fatally shooting Henderson. Bauer secretly tells Chloe that he is going after Charles now. Meanwhile, Pierce and Martha reveal the truth to Novick. Bauer meets Pierce outside the retreat, where the former plans to abduct Charles on his way to David's funeral. Martha is tasked to seduce Charles in the bedroom in order to delay him so that Bauer and Pierce can proceed with the plan. Bauer tells Novick that he intends to do anything to force Charles to confess. Meanwhile, Chloe brings her former husband, Morris, who previously worked at CTU, and tasks him to modify a hearing device.

Bauer knocks a helicopter pilot unconscious and wears his uniform, entering the chopper set to transport Charles, who finishes with Martha and enters the helicopter with two Secret Service agents. On the way, Bauer knocks the other pilot and the agents unconscious before capturing Charles and taking him to a warehouse. Morris arrives and gives the necessary tools to Bauer before leaving. Bauer starts recording a video of Charles, who refuses to confess anything. Agents arrive and Bauer surrenders to them. Charles heads to the funeral, where he takes Martha to a secluded place and confronts her for playing with him, meanwhile confessing to his involvement in David's assassination and the day's attacks, which is recorded by the device planted in his pen. O'Brian plays the audio file to the Attorney General, who has Charles arrested. Bauer is abducted by operatives of Cheng Zhi, who reminds him of his attack on the Chinese consulate. Hayes decides not to absorb CTU and gets closer with Buchanan. Bauer asks Cheng to kill the former; but the latter states that he is too valuable to be killed. They are revealed to be on a ship.

A 10-minute prequel to the season was available with the fourth season DVD.[21] The prequel, which takes place one year after Day 4, shows Jack and Chloe meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Based on computer intrusion that happened when Chloe accessed Jack's autopsy report, she expresses concern that others might know Jack is still alive. This is confirmed when he tries to leave the meeting place and gets chased by agents in a black car. It was broadcast on Sky One in the United Kingdom before the showing of the fifth season.

The trailer for the fifth season recapped the Season 4 ending and emphasized that the show would be continuously aired. Many scenes shown were from the Season 5 premiere but a scene that shows an aerial view of Jack Bauer was unique to the trailer. Such a scene would not have been used in the show because the camera department prefers to shoot all scenes at eye level.[22]

This season is notable for the high number of major characters killed off. Significant deaths included David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and Edgar Stiles. Actor Dennis Haysbert was against the killing of David Palmer and refused to film the scene. He relented after a meeting with the showrunner, though he still disapproved of the storyline.[23] Spoilers released by Ain't It Cool News revealed that two major characters including a politician would die in the premiere episode.[24] Guest characters who died were Walt Cummings and Lynn McGill. The life of Aaron Pierce was threatened, but Martha Logan helped save him.

The New York Times also reacted positively, saying, "all the villains, be they Islamic fundamentalists, drug smugglers, American oil brokers or Russian separatists, keep picking Los Angeles as a target for attack."[29]The Boston Globe praised the returning performances and strong plot.[30] Season five of 24 was nominated for twelve Primetime Emmy Awards, becoming the most nominated series.[31]

Martial law
–
It is usually imposed temporarily when the government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively. Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public, such incidents may occur after a coup détat, when threatened by popular protest, to suppress political opposition, or to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections. Martial law may be declared in cases of natural disasters, however, most countries use a different legal construct. Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts, and in cases of occupations, examples of this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan as well as the Southern Reconstruction following the U. S. Civil War. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal, the Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists and Aboriginal Australians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832. With an escalation of violence in the late 1820s, Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur declared martial law in November 1828—effectively providing legal immunity for killing Aboriginal people and it would remain in force for more than three years, the longest period of martial law in Australian history. Brunei has been under a law since a rebellion occurred on 8 December 1962 known as the Brunei Revolt and was put down by British troops from Singapore. e. The military does not administer justice, which remains in the hands of the courts, the Act has been invoked three times, During World War I, World War II, and the October Crisis of 1970. In 1988, the War Measures Act was replaced by the Emergencies Act, during the colonial era, martial law was proclaimed and applied in the territory of the Province of Quebec during the invasion of Canada by the army of the American Continental Congress in 1775–1776. It was also applied twice in the territory of Lower Canada during the 1837–1838 insurrections and it was imposed until April 27,1838. Martial law was proclaimed a second time on November 4,1838, this time by acting Governor John Colborne, in Egypt, a State of Emergency has been in effect almost continuously since 1967. Following the assassination of President Anwar el-Sadat in 1981, state of emergency was declared, Egypt has been under state of emergency ever since, the Parliament has renewed the emergency laws every three years since they were imposed.

California is the most populous state in the United States and the third most extensive by area. Located on the western coast of the U. S, California is bordered by the other U. S. states of Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona and shares an international border with the Mexican state of Baja California. Los Angeles is Californias most populous city, and the second largest after New York City. The Los Angeles Area and the San Francisco Bay Area are the nations second- and fifth-most populous urban regions, California also has the nations most populous county, Los Angeles County, and its largest county by area, San Bernardino County. The Central Valley, an agricultural area, dominates the states center. What is now California was first settled by various Native American tribes before being explored by a number of European expeditions during the 16th and 17th centuries, the Spanish Empire then claimed it as part of Alta California in their New Spain colony. The area became a part of Mexico in 1821 following its war for independence. The western portion of Alta California then was organized as the State of California, the California Gold Rush starting in 1848 led to dramatic social and demographic changes, with large-scale emigration from the east and abroad with an accompanying economic boom. If it were a country, California would be the 6th largest economy in the world, fifty-eight percent of the states economy is centered on finance, government, real estate services, technology, and professional, scientific and technical business services. Although it accounts for only 1.5 percent of the states economy, the story of Calafia is recorded in a 1510 work The Adventures of Esplandián, written as a sequel to Amadis de Gaula by Spanish adventure writer Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo. The kingdom of Queen Calafia, according to Montalvo, was said to be a land inhabited by griffins and other strange beasts. This conventional wisdom that California was an island, with maps drawn to reflect this belief, shortened forms of the states name include CA, Cal. Calif. and US-CA. Settled by successive waves of arrivals during the last 10,000 years, various estimates of the native population range from 100,000 to 300,000. The Indigenous peoples of California included more than 70 distinct groups of Native Americans, ranging from large, settled populations living on the coast to groups in the interior. California groups also were diverse in their organization with bands, tribes, villages.

Some 37 years later English explorer Francis Drake also explored and claimed a portion of the California coast in 1579.

More recently, in 2015,4.2 million passengers used the airport, in 2015 Southwest Airlines carried 59% of departing passengers. In 1923 a landing field was established east of Central Avenue on land leased from the Union Pacific Railroad, the airfield was named Latimer Field after an orange-packing company next to the airstrip. An airport was built there by one of the first flying clubs in southern California, in 1929, the city of Ontario purchased 30 acres, now in the southwest corner of the airport, for $12,000, and established the Ontario Municipal Airport. In 1941 the city bought 470 acres around the airport and approved construction of new runways, the 6, 200-foot east/west runway and the 4, 700-foot northeast/southwest runway cost $350,000. On 27 February 1942, an Army Air Corps plane made the first landing at the new airport, by 1943, the airport was an Army Air Corps Lockheed P-38 Lightning training base and North American P-51 Mustang operating base. In 1946 Ontario Municipal Airport was renamed Ontario International Airport because of the cargo flights originating there. On 17 May 1946, two Army surplus steel hangars arrived at the airport, which the Ontario city council had authorized the $50,000 purchase of just the previous week, city officials were pleased to have secured a bargain.

Nerve gas
–
Nerve agents are a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals that disrupt the mechanisms by which nerves transfer messages to organs. The disruption is caused by blocking acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine, some nerve agents are readily vaporized or aerosolized, and the primary portal of entry into the body is the respiratory system. Nerve agents can also be absorbed through the skin, requiring that those likely to be subjected to such agents wear a body suit in addition to a respirator. As their name suggests, nerve agents attack the system of the human body. All such agents function the way, by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. ACh gives the signal for muscles to contract, thus, if it cannot be broken down, initial symptoms following exposure to nerve agents are a runny nose, tightness in the chest, and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim will then have difficulty breathing and will experience nausea, as the victim continues to lose control of their bodily functions, they will involuntarily salivate, lacrimate, urinate, defecate, and experience gastrointestinal pain and vomiting. Blisters and burning of the eyes and/or lungs may also occur and this phase is followed by initially myoclonic jerks followed by status epilepticus. Death then comes via complete respiratory depression, most likely via the excessive peripheral activity at the junction of the diaphragm. The effects of agents are long lasting and increase with continued exposure. Survivors of nerve agent poisoning almost invariably suffer chronic neurological damage and this neurological damage can also lead to continuing psychiatric effects. When a normally functioning motor nerve is stimulated, it releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, once the impulse is sent, the enzyme acetylcholinesterase immediately breaks down the acetylcholine in order to allow the muscle or organ to relax. Nerve agents disrupt the system by inhibiting the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase by forming a covalent bond where acetylcholine would break down. Acetylcholine thus builds up and continues to act so that any nerve impulses are continually transmitted and this same action also occurs at the gland and organ levels, resulting in uncontrolled drooling, tearing of the eyes and excess production of mucus from the nose. The structures of the complexes of soman with acetylcholinesterase from Torpedo californica have been solved by X-Ray crystallography, the mechanism of action of soman could be seen on example of 2wfz. Atropine and related anticholinergic drugs act as antidotes to nerve agent poisoning because they block acetylcholine receptors, while these drugs will save the life of a person affected with nerve agents, that person may be incapacitated briefly or for an extended period, depending on the amount of exposure. The endpoint of atropine administration is the clearing of bronchial secretions, atropine for field use by military personnel is often loaded in an autoinjector, for ease of use in stressful conditions. Pralidoxime chloride, also known as 2-PAM chloride, is used as an antidote

Components of petroleum are separated using a technique called fractional distillation and it consists of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other organic compounds. The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock, Petroleum has mostly been recovered by oil drilling. Drilling is carried out studies of structural geology, sedimentary basin analysis. Petroleum is used in manufacturing a variety of materials. Concern over the depletion of the earths finite reserves of oil, the burning of fossil fuels plays the major role in the current episode of global warming. The word petroleum comes from Greek, πέτρα for rocks and Greek, the term was found in 10th-century Old English sources. It was used in the treatise De Natura Fossilium, published in 1546 by the German mineralogist Georg Bauer, Petroleum, in one form or another, has been used since ancient times, and is now important across society, including in economy, politics and technology. Great quantities of it were found on the banks of the river Issus, ancient Persian tablets indicate the medicinal and lighting uses of petroleum in the upper levels of their society. By 347 AD, oil was produced from bamboo-drilled wells in China, early British explorers to Myanmar documented a flourishing oil extraction industry based in Yenangyaung that, in 1795, had hundreds of hand-dug wells under production. The mythological origins of the oil fields at Yenangyaung, and its hereditary monopoly control by 24 families, Pechelbronn is said to be the first European site where petroleum has been explored and used. The still active Erdpechquelle, a spring where petroleum appears mixed with water has been used since 1498, Oil sands have been mined since the 18th century. In Wietze in lower Saxony, natural asphalt/bitumen has been explored since the 18th century, both in Pechelbronn as in Wietze, the coal industry dominated the petroleum technologies. In 1848 Young set up a small business refining the crude oil, Young eventually succeeded, by distilling cannel coal at a low heat, in creating a fluid resembling petroleum, which when treated in the same way as the seep oil gave similar products. The production of oils and solid paraffin wax from coal formed the subject of his patent dated 17 October 1850. In 1850 Young & Meldrum and Edward William Binney entered into partnership under the title of E. W. Binney & Co. at Bathgate in West Lothian, the worlds first oil refinery was built in 1856 by Ignacy Łukasiewicz. The demand for petroleum as a fuel for lighting in North America, edwin Drakes 1859 well near Titusville, Pennsylvania, is popularly considered the first modern well

Central Asia
–
Central Asia stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north. It is also referred to as the -stans as the five countries generally considered to be within the region all have names ending with the Persian suffix -stan. Central Asias five former Soviet republics are Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road. It has acted as a crossroads for the movement of people, goods, the Silk Road connected Muslim lands with the people of Europe, India, and China. This crossroads position has intensified the conflict between tribalism and traditionalism and modernization, in pre-Islamic and early Islamic times, Central Asia was predominantly Iranian, peopled by Eastern Iranian-speaking Bactrians, Sogdians and Chorasmians and the semi-nomadic Scythians and Parthians. Central Asia is sometimes referred to as Turkestan, the idea of Central Asia as a distinct region of the world was introduced in 1843 by the geographer Alexander von Humboldt. The borders of Central Asia are subject to multiple definitions, historically built political geography and geoculture are two significant parameters widely used in the scholarly literature about the definitions of the Central Asia. The most limited definition was the one of the Soviet Union. This definition was also used outside the USSR during this period. However, the Russian culture has two terms, Средняя Азия and Центральная Азия. Since then, this has become the most common definition of Central Asia, the UNESCO general history of Central Asia, written just before the collapse of the USSR, defines the region based on climate and uses far larger borders. An alternative method is to define the region based on ethnicity and these areas include Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the Turkic regions of southern Siberia, the five republics, and Afghan Turkestan. Afghanistan as a whole, the northern and western areas of Pakistan, the Tibetans and Ladakhi are also included. Insofar, most of the peoples are considered the indigenous peoples of the vast region. Central Asia is a large region of varied geography, including high passes and mountains, vast deserts. The vast steppe areas of Central Asia are considered together with the steppes of Eastern Europe as a geographical zone known as the Eurasian Steppe. Much of the land of Central Asia is too dry or too rugged for farming, the Gobi desert extends from the foot of the Pamirs, 77° E, to the Great Khingan Mountains, 116°–118° E. Central Asia has the following geographic extremes, The worlds northernmost desert, at Buurug Deliin Els, Mongolia, the Northern Hemispheres southernmost permafrost, at Erdenetsogt sum, Mongolia, 46°17′ N

U.S. Secretary of Defense
–
The Secretary of Defense is the leader and chief executive officer of the Department of Defense, an Executive Department of the Government of the United States of America. The Secretary of Defenses power over the United States military is only to that of the President. This position corresponds to what is known as a Defense Minister in many other countries. The Secretary of Defense is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, Secretary of Defense is a statutory office, and the general provision in 10 U. S. C. This is also extended to the United States Coast Guard during any period of time in which its command, only the Secretary of Defense can authorize the transfer of operational control of forces between the three Military Departments and the nine Combatant Commands. The current Secretary of Defense is retired United States Marine Corps general James Mattis, the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps were established in 1775, in concurrence with the American Revolution. Based on the experiences of World War II, proposals were made on how to more effectively manage the large combined military establishment. The Army generally favored centralization while the Navy had institutional preferences for decentralization, the resulting National Security Act of 1947 was largely a compromise between these divergent viewpoints. The Act merged the Department of War with the Department of the Navy to form the National Military Establishment, the Act also separated the Army Air Forces from the Department of the Army to become its own branch of service, the Department of the Air Force. At first, each of the service secretaries maintained quasi-cabinet status, the position of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the number two position in the department, was also created at this time. The last major revision of the framework concerning the position was done in the Goldwater–Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. In particular, it elevated the status of joint service for commissioned officers, making it in practice a requirement before appointments to general officer and flag officer grades could be made. Because the Constitution vests all military authority in Congress and the President, as the head of DoD, all officials, employees and service members are under the Secretary of Defense. All of these positions, civil and military, require Senate confirmation. Department of Defense Directive 5100.01 describes the relationships within the Department. The latest version, signed by former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in December 2010, is the first major re-write since 1987, the name of the principally military staff organization, organized under the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the Joint Staff. In addition, there is the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, which is the ribbon and unit award issued to joint DoD activities. While the approval authority for DSSM, DMSM, JSCM, JSAM and JMUA is delegated to inferior DoD officials, Permanent Representative to NATO in recognition of U. S

Mike Novick

Mike Novick is a fictional character played by Jude Ciccolella as part of the television series,24. Novick had been an advisor and staff member of David Palmer since Palmers first Senate run. Whereas Palmer tended to be bold and idealistic, Novick was more cautious and pragmatic, sometimes even a bit sneaky, when Palmer sought nomination as a presidential candidate, Novick stayed alongside the Senator as his chief of staff. The day of the California presidential primary would prove to be a daunting one for the Palmer campaign for a number of reasons. First was the revelation that Palmers son Keith had killed the man who raped Palmers daughter Nicole. Even more troubling was the revelation that Palmers wife Sherry had concealed this from David, when Palmer began investigating he found that certain men with a vested interest in seeing Palmer get elected were determined not to let this scandal come out at any cost. Things took a turn when Keiths therapist, Doctor Ferragamo. Novick, however, insisted that they had no proof that these individuals were responsible, Keith, however, would later acquire damning evidence against these men when he secretly recorded a conversation between himself and Carl Webb, a man working for them. Sherry insisted that nothing good could come from revealing the contents of the tape to the public, Novick, on the other hand, suggested Palmer should keep it as leverage against these men once he was in the White House. In the end, Palmer rejected both options and revealed the story to the press. Amazingly, polls taken shortly after the announcement revealed that the public was not disillusioned by the scandal, the second threat to the Palmer campaign that day came in the form of a threat on Palmers life. Novick told Palmer that a man named Jack Bauer was in Secret Service custody for attempting to assassinate Palmer, Palmer knew the name Jack Bauer but couldnt remember from where. Several hours later, Novick discovered the connection between Bauer and Palmer and they were both involved in a covert operation called Operation Nightfall which resulted in the death of all of Bauers men. Though Palmer would go on to win the nomination, his wifes manipulations during the day caused his faith in her to deteriorate to the point where he announced he was leaving her, evidently, this did not disrupt the campaign significantly either. After winning the nomination, Palmer would go on to win the election, Novick stayed on as Palmers White House Chief of Staff. Upon hearing the news, Novick, Palmers Chief of Staff immediately got on a plane to reach the President and he was surprised to find Palmers ex-wife Sherry there when he arrived, as she had apparently convinced the President to let her help in gathering information. Given her deception in the past, Novick was unsure if she could be trusted, when evidence surfaced that Roger Stanton, the head of NSA, may have been hindering the search for the bomb, Novick urged Palmer to relieve Stanton of duty and have him interrogated. Palmer did so and was surprised when Stanton implicated Sherry Palmer as well, eventually the bomb was located and detonated a safe distance from the city

Marine One
–
Marine One is the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States. It usually denotes a helicopter operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One, a Marine Corps aircraft carrying the Vice President has the call sign Marine Two. The first use of helicopters for transporting the President was in 1957, the President needed a quick way to reach his summer home in Pennsylvania, as Air Force One could not land at the White House or the summer home. Eisenhower instructed his staff to look into alternative modes of transportation, the early aircraft lacked the creature comforts found on its modern successors, such as air conditioning and toilets for in-flight use. In 1958, the H-13 was replaced by the Sikorsky H-34, not long after the mode of presidential transport was introduced, presidential aides asked the Marine Corps to look into the White House South Lawn as a helicopter landing zone. Ample room was present, and the protocol was established, until 1976, the Marine Corps shared the responsibility of helicopter transportation for the President with the United States Army. Army helicopters used the call sign Army One while the president was on board, the VH-3D entered service in 1978. The VH-60N entered service in 1987 and has served alongside the VH-3D, improvements were made to both types of helicopters since their introduction to both take advantage of technological developments as well as to meet new mission requirements. However, by about 2001, it was clear that so much weight had been added to the helicopters that mission capability was being reduced. By 2009, there were 11 VH-3Ds and eight VH-60Ns in service as Presidential/VIP helicopters, on 16 July 2009, Marine One flew with an all-female crew for the first time. This was also the final flight of Major Jennifer Grieves, who was the first woman pilot to fly the President, Marine One has not been the subject of any accident or attack through 2009. However, in 2006, President George W. Bush boarded Marine One with his press secretary. The president was forced to exit the helicopter and depart the White House in an automobile, the September 11 attacks on the U. S. led to widespread agreement that the Marine One helicopter fleet needed significant upgrades to its communication, transportation, and security systems. But these could not be due to the weight already added to the aircraft. In April 2002, the Department of Defense initiated the VXX program to develop a new presidential/VIP helicopter transportation system, the helicopter program was assigned to the U. S. Navy. A delivery date of 2011 was set, the White House asked the Secretary of Defense to accelerate the development of the new aircraft in November 2002, and DOD said it would have a new aircraft ready by the end of 2008. To do so, DOD asked companies bidding on the design to begin development. Specifications for the new aircraft were kept secret, the helicopters defensive capabilities were to include a radar jamming and deception system to ward off anti-aircraft missiles, and hardening of key electronics against nuclear electromagnetic pulse

Covert listening device
–
A covert listening device, more commonly known as a bug or a wire, is usually a combination of a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone. The use of bugs, called bugging, is a technique in surveillance, espionage. A bug does not have to be a specifically designed for the purpose of eavesdropping. A wire is a device that is hidden or concealed under a persons clothes for the purpose of listening to conversations in close proximity to the person wearing the wire. Wires are typically used in police sting operations in order to information about suspects. The act of wearing a wire refers to a person knowingly recording the conversation or transmitting the contents of a conversation to a listening post. Usually, some sort of device is attached to the body in an inconspicuous way, wearing a wire by undercover agents is typical plot element in gangster and police related movies and television shows. A stereotypical movie scene is someone being suspected of wearing a wire, when infiltrating a criminal organization a mole may be given a wire to wear under his or her clothes. The wire device transmits to a location where law enforcement agents monitor what is being said. Wearing a wire is viewed as risky since discovery of a wire by a criminal could lead to violence against the mole or other retaliatory responses. Mobile phone microphones can be activated remotely, without any need for physical access and this roving bug feature has been used by law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to listen in on nearby conversations. A United States court ruled in 1988 that a technique used by the FBI against reputed former Gulfport. In 2003 the FBI obtained an order to surreptitiously listen in on conversations in a car through the cars built-in emergency. A panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals prohibited the use of this technique because it involved deactivating the security features. A laser microphone can be used to reconstruct audio from a laser beam shot onto an object in a room, researchers have also prototyped a method for reconstructing audio from video of thin objects that can pick up sound vibrations, such as a houseplant or bag of potato chips. Embassies and other posts are often the targets of bugging operations. The Soviet embassy in Ottawa was bugged by the Government of Canada, the Russian Embassy in The Hague was bugged by the BVD and the CIA in 1958 and 1959 using an Easy Chair Mark III listening device. Extensive bugging of the West German embassy in Moscow by the KGB was discovered by German engineer Horst Schwirkmann, leading to an attack on Schwirkmann in 1964
